ASPEN, Colorado. — Yesterday, at the Federation International de Ski (FIS) Slopestyle World Cup in Aspen, Park City resident Colby Stevenson won first place.

The 24 year old Westminster College student has been on the Freestyle Pro Slopestyle Team for seven years. He represents the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team and has skied for the nonprofit Park City Ski and Snowboard Team.

“It’s my third competition here this year and we finally got some good weather. Been dealing with a lot of snow and a lot of wind in other events but today couldn’t be better. I landed a run, that’s the biggest thing, and I took the win,” Stevenson told FIS after his win.

Second place in this comp went to Stevenson’s U.S. Ski and Snowboard teammate, Mac Forehand.

Four years ago, in Italy, after a long recovery from injuries sustained in a serious car accident, Stevenson took first place in a World Cup competition. Stevenson currently leads the slopestyle and Freeski overall World Cup standings as the tour heads next to Switzerland.
